Fig. 1: Procedure and behavioral results.
From: Neural mechanisms of feature binding in working memory
A Participants were asked to perform a change detection task, which consisted of two conditions: (1) the either-memory condition, wherein either two colors or two locations were changed, with the task procedure remaining identical for both feature types up to the probe display; (2) the binding condition, wherein only the color was swapped between two disks, resulting in a modification in color-location bindings. Notably, in both conditions, participants had to maintain both color and location information throughout the delay period. The key difference was that in the binding condition, participants were required to encode and maintain the conjunction of color and location (i.e., bound representations), whereas in the either-memory condition, they could maintain the two features separately and only needed to retrieve the relevant one based on the probe. B Behavioral results of n = 40 participants for different conditions and set sizes. Each solid dot within the bar plots represents a participant, and the data variance is represented by ±1 s.e.m. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
